Lyrics Plugin

[Steven]

you need to copy the plugin once into the plugins folder (and again if there is an updated version)
the very first time all lyrics sites are enabled by default. But once it has been installed, for any future upgrades, the additional websites need to be manually enabled

for people using .NET 4 version of musicbee:

[BeeFan]

So there is no possibility to integrate the plugin in the MusicBee Setup?
That it will automatically be installed with MusicBee?

[Steven]

no - its a plugin and i would prefer someone else to be maintaining it.
The reason its a plugin is because their is no official API for the web-sites being used and hence any of web-sites refered to could stop working, and need an update indpendent of musicbee releases

I honestly have very little technical knowledge of plugins, but would it be possible to integrate a metrolyrics plugin into MB?  Their website (below) says they are compatible with iTunes, Windows Media Player, and WinAmp.

Here's a link: http://www.metrolyrics.com/plugin.html

Thanks

Is it possible to add http://lyrics.wikia.com ?
Every songpage has the same format, so I think it's easy to do.
Sadly enough I don't know how to.

Every song has a website url:
http://lyrics.wikia.com/(Artistname):(Songname)

And the lyrics on that page are between <lyrics>HERE THE LYRICS</lyrics>

how do i add new sites

[Steven]

make sure the plugin is enabled in the Preferences/ Plugins panel and then in the Tags(2) panel in auto-tagging section, click the ... button for the lyrics and enable the web sites you want to retrieve lyrics from

[Steven]

first post updated with fix for lyrics from A-Z lyrics truncating some of the first line (.NET4 version only)

[Norgium]

Would you mind posting the source code again? I've only made a few small things in VB.NET and probably won't be able to add much to the plugin, but trying to get this to work for my underground metal would be a way to learn more of VB.NET that I'd enjoy doing.

[Steven]

sure

Thanks for posting the source, a lot of it is new but understandable to me so I'll probably end up trying to add a site when I feel like working on something.
One reason why I wanted it was because I thought some of it was broken, but it doesn't seem so now. What I think happened is that after using it on over 20k songs in a row I may have gotten myself banned from AZlyrics and DarkLyrics. AZlyrics.com would give me a "Connection closed by remote server" error while working perfectly fine with a proxy, and since about a week ago it works like normal again. DarkLyrics.com does load, but whenever I try to go to a lyrics pages it returns nothing and just shows a blank page, while again working fine behind a proxy. Unfortunately that one hasn't changed back to normal yet.

Hello,

I'm having some problems with the Plugin.   I am running the newest 2.0 MB version

When I add the NET2 version:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ywet721vf2c348z

The lyrics providers gives me a long list.  When I try AZlyrics, I'm getting the issue with it cutting off the first line of lyrics.   

When I try to update with the .NET4 version (you will need this one if you are using version 2.0.4586+ of musicbee):
http://www.mediafire.com/?erz714712qq3rya

MB seems to crash each time I open the program, and continues to do so, unless I remove this plugin.   
Sometimes the program will run, and when I check (Tags 2) the list of lyric providers is only the default four. 
Plz help

you need the latest musicbee version from the weekly updates topic
